Forum How do I...?

spanning header issues with tables

jacobfogg
So I am having a problem with spanning headers on tables... the html structure is basically like this:

table
tr
td rowspan=2 Column 1 /td
td rowspan=2 Column 2 /td
td colspan=3 Spanning Header /td
td rowspan=2 Column 6 /td
/tr
tr
td Column 3 /td
td Column 4 /td
td Column 5 /td
/tr
...more content here...
/table

(I left out the < and > as I figured they would be stripped out as ill eagle HTML tags in the forum...)

I hope that makes sense... Anyway, this HTML is rendering perfectly in FireFox and IE, however when I generate it with prince, it is giving WAY too much spacing to the resulting rows... AND the second header row (the one with Column 3 - 5) is bumped below the bottom of the first header row.

I have look at the HTML and it seems to be correct. I have done this several times before without a problem... I am really stumped on this one. I am probably doing something wrong that is really simple... =/

Below are links to the HTML and PDF that I generated... any thoughts are greatly appreciated!!!

I believe that this is because of the "min-height:53pt;" applied to "tr.listRow td".

Thanks, not sure how I missed that one! I'll test on Monday and get back to you
